Rattlin' Chug Bug


Surface poppers are basic, and this Storm topwater is a coast-to-coast favorite. A free-rolling internal weight serves as a rattle and adds casting distance because it rolls to the rear when you toss the plug. Importantly, that same weight moves inside as the plug is popped on the water, providing some critical extra wiggle. Shown is a 3⁄8-ounce version in bleeding Tennessee shad; also available in 1⁄4 ounce; 17 colors. $5; stormlures.com
